A romantic reunion at the top of the Empire State Building, a perfectly simple engagement, a beautiful wedding and a heart-wrenching death — needless to say, TV couples were busy this past week.

To see which couples are basking in love and which ones are wallowing in sadness, check out this installment of ‘Ship Shape, a recurring feature in which TVLine provides you with the latest developments for TV’s hottest duos — and then offers our forecast for each pairing.

They forever ruined Emma Swan and Once Upon a Time for me last night. They’ve made a huge mistake in forcing this fan service ship. I don’t care what Eddy and Adam say about it being planned from the second season. They are paid to lie with their storytelling.

Well, while I don’t agree with everything Mary said, I do agree that this ‘ship was completely forced. And that a huge part of the decision to kill off Neal was to get Emma and Hook together which is just really bad storytelling. It was far more compelling as a love triangle. Now it’s boring. I like Hook, and I like the tension between him and Emma, but I’m not getting the obsession with them.

@Mary: CaptainSwan was planned, since the beginning. It was, probably, the creators’ way of marrying their two favorite fairytales…. Adam’s is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, while Eddy’s is “Peter Pan”. Not to mention, Hook’s name is a reference to Emma. The name “Killian”, means “church”. Emma is the Savior…. so, do the math.

Get over it! Emma and Hook were always meant to happen, even they had the Snowing parallels from on go. You dont give a couple that much moments and not to be anything, EMma and Hook happened instantly = BEANSTALK EPISODE, go on a adventure on their own, thats how this show works!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it absolutely hilarious (and I’ve seen this on several sites), that CS shippers in particular will shout that the showrunners are lying and have no idea what they’re talking about when A&E say something that disagrees with their worldview, however, if they say something like “CS was planned from the beginning” then what they said should be taken as gospel.

And yes, no matter what they say at this point, the ship is fanservice. The network promoted Hook so heavily as a love interest to Emma since Colin is “pretty” that the writers had no choice but to make it happen. There wasn’t a single hint of any attraction between them in season two, and yet, right at the start of season three, Hook is immediately head over heels in love with Emma, and that’s why he went back to Storybrooke to save them, supposedly not because of his lingering feelings of guilt over handing Baelfire over to the Lost Boys (as it actually happened in the show, of course). It’s just disgusting, really.

You’re kidding, right? Regina’s “happiness” would’ve been based on her murdering the wife of the man she supposedly loves. Real love would have Regina NOT wanting to be the cause of all those years of suffering for Robin, and of wanting to see him happy even if it’s not with her. THAT’S true love.

Hook is good man, a better man – and it only needed love and hope to bring the man he is suppose to be, and he is better with Emma, they both better with each other! He would go to the ends of the earth for Emma!!!!!

Am I the only one not liking this Joan/Mycroft relationship at all? I don’t like that Joan is now in the middle of things with the brothers, and it’s seriously going to screw up Sherlock and Joan’s relationship. There was enough drama and animosity between Sherlock and Mycroft before Joan got involved that I wanted them to explore, why did they have to go there with Joan and Mycroft? Plus, I personally don’t think those two have any sort of chemistry whatsoever.
.
Really happy Miles and Rachel are in a good place, even though I’m still crushed the show is ending. I wish networks gave shows some notice and/or a 2 hour “extra” episode to wrap things up. :(

I’m SO happy that I’m not the only one who feels this way. The relationship hasn’t really developed on screen AT ALL so there’s nothing to hold on to or root for anyway. I don’t like them together and feel like they have no chemistry at all either. I was so happy in this past episode where she told him that she could never trust anything that came out of his mouth and that it was over, but then in the next scene all is forgiven and they are in bed together? WTH? That felt like it came out of nowhere. So disappointing.

Definitely not the only one *hits head on desk repeatedly*
It’s so forced and just terrible to watch. Can’t Joan be single, or at least date people outside in the real world for now, this is really killing me.

I’m another person not liking Joan and Mycroft. No chemistry, and absolutely no reason to put them together. Her concern for Sherlock’s sobriety is totally compromised by this seemingly casual hook-up. I too like Rhys Ifans but there is nothing appealing, or trustworthy, about Mycroft.

I completely agree with you. Oliver may have casual relationships with other women, but I love how they are building a genuine caring relationship between Oliver and Felicity. Love them!! And love Felicity!

Can’t remember the last time I looked forward to a season finale as I am for this weeks episode. And it’s because of Oliver and felicity….loved that scene last week hopefully some more of that goodness this week!!!!

Me, too. I will always prefer her with Graham, but that’s not happening, so, much like Emma, I decided to open myself up to a potential Hook/Emma pairing and I’m liking him, sometimes more than her. Plus, he’s really hot so it’s not *too* hard to watch him on my tv. :)

I really liked Emma with Graham as well . They had tons of chemisty when he kissed her and all his memories came back. That was great! Darn Regina for crushing his heart!!! However, since Emma can’t be with Graham, I’m starting to like her with Hook. He’s obviously quite smitten with her and I think he really understands her. Emma just needs to dial back the attitude sometimes.

I am so happy about Emma and Killian. I’m actually at a loss for words.
Their coming together was so much more than I ever dared to hope or expect.
It was wonderful…perfect. So perfect it scares me a bit :)
I’ve believed they were destined for love since “Tallahassee” and Adam and Eddy outdid themselves delivering their story. I hope they’ll keep delivering in that very same vein because never has a love story touched me more…
All the love in the world was in that kiss at the end of the finale…
Emma is finally home…the lost girl has finally found home thanks to her hero/pirate who loves her more than anything in the whole wide world.
I’m never getting over those two…

So nice to see Oliver and Felicity relationship strengthen episode after episode. I though their scenes together last episode were fantastic. I think both Emily and Stephen have really grown as actors this year. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a great season finale to get me through the summer.

I’ve never been fully on board the Captain Swan ship up until now, but that finale was really good, and I think I can get behind it now. (Just, please, some modern clothes for Hook next season? The black leather is getting a little old.)
.
Regina needs to take a deep breath, and realize that Robin finding out she murdered his wife would not actually be better than the current situation. Which is not to say that she should be happy about losing another man she loved, but Emma letting her kill Marion would not have actually helped anything.
.
As for Olicity….*sigh*. That scene was great. However, it is always going to be very difficult for me to buy into that ship as long as the writers and cast keep bringing up Lauriver. Don’t get me wrong – I’d prefer Lauriver stay dead and buried – but I don’t like being teased, and as long as Andrew Kriesberg is comparing Oliver and Laurel to Lois and Clark, and Katie Cassidy is tossing around words like “soulmates”, it’s going to be very hard for me to believe that anything with Oliver and Felicity is ever going to amount to anything more than stringing the fans of that ship along. Call me a cynic. :( And if they’re not going to get serious about it, I’d prefer they leave them as friends.

I completely agree. I wasn’t one of those who shipped Oliver and Felicity from the moment they met, but out of all the Arrow ships, this is the one I WOULD get behind IF I had ANY trust in the writers. Which I don’t. I noticed the EPs tweeted about KC’s interviews last week, but nothing about EBR’s notable performance mentions in the last episode. If they get Oliver and Felicity together in the near future, it will probably be to let that run its course so they can revisit Lauriver as endgame, which unfortunately is my least favorite pairing on the show (Sara-Oliver is my second choice, and Felicity with anyone who makes her happy). Actually, sometimes I wish Arrow just stayed away from romance altogether. I can watch a show without any romance, but it really sucks to watch a good show with (what I consider) a bad romance (which is what Arrow would be to me if I had to sit through Lauriver).

My Arrow OTP is Oliver/not Laurel. Seriously. I don’t care who they put Oliver with, as long as it’s not Laurel. I can’t stand that ship. But for the love of everything, if they are bound and determined to do it, stop teasing us with better options. It only makes the bitterness stronger when they come back to Lauriver. “Oh you like this chocolate bar? Doesn’t it look good? Well too bad, you can’t have it. Here, eat this cabbage, and stop complaining. You’ll eat it and like it.” ;) LOL.

I feel like the writers have been teasing Felicity/Oliver, Laurel/Oliver, and Sara/Oliver in these last few episodes. I think they should pick one or none and be done with it, but stop trying to please everybody.

Yeah , i agree with you ! They declare that is, basically, an action show but all this drama and the going back and forth between Laurel/Oliver/Sara/Tommy was and is really tiring and annoying ! So just please pick the one pairing you want to stick with and if it works for the fans they will stay tuned if they care about it. If it doesn’t works for them and the action only doesn’t work for them then they won’t ! It’s simple ! Personally i’m an Olicity shipper , i didn’t start watching Arrow because of romance and utill , i think , the 17 episode of season 1 i wasn’t shipping anyone with anyone , but i really couldn’t buy the epic love of Laurel/ Oliver just because they told me that i was supposed to like them together ! I liked Tommy/ Laurel better . Olicity for me is a BIG plus , so if they are not endgame and the show stll manage to keep me tuned then i’ll stay tuned but i’ll probably ,in time, just get bored or irritated . And i don’t think Olicity should happen now , i like the slow burn. I just need a reassurance that they are canon !

If I had it my way I’d drop Laurel and Sara as romantic interests for Oliver entirely. I want to feel like Oliver is growing as a person/hero and this sister swapping makes it feel to me like he’s regressing.

Felicity and Oliver were fantastic in that scene, and as noted in an earlier TVLine article, Emily really hit a home run with that material — she is quite the actress, and Arrow is lucky to have found her.
.
It’s wonderful to see these two in action, their scenes are very organic and everything about them radiates off the screen. They are building some pretty solid foundations for these two.

Idk why people are upset over Marian ruining Regina’s chance with Hood. We all know she isn’t long for the town of Storybrook. Regina and Hood will find their way back to each other. Probably being one of the reasons she doesnt’ fully cross back over to the side of evil.

I’m curious if they will find their way back to each other. The show doesn’t have a track record of splitting up canon couples. Emma’s HEA could’ve been anyone, really, because Emma Swan doesn’t exist in the canon fairy tales. But Robin Hood and Maid Marion is canon, so would the TPTB really break them up? I’m not so sure. I’m kind of a Robin Hood/Marian fangirl so, even though THIS particular Marian didn’t wow me, I’d hate to think of Robin Hood without his canon love.

I totally agree with them not breaking them up, as you said canon, however having her die some kinda way is more what I was thinking. I foresee Emma telling Regina that Marian was about about to executed at Regina’s word causing Regina to feel guilty and give Hood her blessing for going back. Something tragic happens to Marian and boom a clear path to reconnection. Marian will no doubt tell Hood that it was Regina that was about to kill her but he won’t hold it against Regina because she’s a different person now. You know, second chances and blah blah blah. To be frank POC don’t do well on this show. They either die or are one and done. Add to that that Marian is in the way of Regina and Hood being “meant to be”…. her time in Storybrooke will be short. Poor Hood…he will lose her twice. Heartbreaking.

The thing is, on OUaT, Robin Hood and Maid Marian are not “canon”. Besides, there are several versions of the Robin Hood legend, where Marian dies in childbirth. On OUaT, you can have several true loves…. but only one soulmate. Regina and Robin are soulmates. OUaT’s Marian has cheated death, more than once. She cannot keep doing it forever. When the actor who plays Robin Hood, is rooting for OutlawQueen, you know how this new love triangle will end. Robin is going to have to choose, between Regina and Marian. Since he is a different man, than he was before Marian died, he will choose Regina.

On OUaT, you can have several true loves…. but only one soulmate.

Anyway – yes, Robin Hood and Maid Marion are canon here – they were married and had a child and Robin seems to have been deeply in love with her. Not sure how much more “canon” you can get than that. And I HIGHLY doubt they’re going to show Robin choosing Regina over Marion, his wife. It’s far more likely that something will end up happening to Marion eventually, thus clearing the way for Robin and Regina to get back together. And yes, I do think they will eventually get back together (the writers have gone to too much trouble to set up the ship for it to be otherwise) but it’s not going to happen while Marion lives. I would put money on that.

Very conflicted about Once. Clearly there is trouble ahead for Rumbelle. I loved their wedding and the flashes to each couple on the show for each of the reasons why Rumple loves Belle. That montage was brilliant. I cried. But why he is being not forthcoming with her is depressing. Also Regina. Seriously? Do you really think that is the way to make things better? What would Henry think? Over a guy? I’m pretty sure we just spent much of this season exploring your love for your son. Come on now. Plus I’m sure something will end up happening with Maid Marion. Regardless, show that you have changed, don’t be like your sister the WW and do something you will regret. Snowing was priceless. Loved every second of that. Except for the Neal part. I really thought they would have named him Graham. Bc Graham did save Snow’s life and helped them to start this whole thing with the curse and the town. But I digress. Neal did get better in the end. and the Captain Swan? What can I say about that. Too much really. They are so perfect for one another. So perfect. They were written that way from the start. The thing is when Adam and Eddy said “always” they were talking about since the creation of the show. They said in the past that they wanted Hook back in season 1 but could not get the rights. Then season two got thrown off bc of Colin’s broken leg. I loved their journey. I can not wait until we get more banter and “fun” with these two. It is always an adventure. True love.

Revenge. I am so upset. I loved Aiden. I cried my eyes out. Amanda should have killed Vicky. To be honest, I can not stand her. I know we aren’t supposed to but I would have rather had a million Conrads over Victoria. She is so hard to watch. I want her gone hopefully next season. Plus all of the other craziness that is happening? IDK.

I really love Oliver and Felicity. And sometimes I think the writers really want to take them somewhere when they give the audience such beautiful scenes. But then they start bring up Laurel again and her epic connection to Oliver (and I don’t even mind Laurel, I just don’t see the romantic connection) and I feel as though they just want to tease O/F and never ever go there. At some point something’s got to give and they should decide on whether or not they want them to be friends/partners or something else.

All the Emma and Hook scenes leave me speechless!! I mean: “Love had always brought me pain, my walls were up but you brought them down. You brought me home” while they were kissing. It brought me to tears!!. Captain Swan is perfect and I’m just so happy for everyone who’s been rooting for them, for Emma’s happiness, since the beginning.

“I’d go through the ends of the world for her” – that line killed me because Hook’s already done all that for Emma. I love them so much! I know this is OUAT and they will cook up trouble for everyone someday but I hope they let Captain Swan be problem – free for a while. They deserve some time to be happy. I need to see them do couple things now. I’m so excited for season 4 and Elsa!

Rayna and Deacon….awwwwwww FINALLY! Loved how Deacon thought that Luke’s performance on stage was the perfect time for this talk. It’s either he’s done talking or he must talk RIGHT NOW :)
And the fact we get another full season of the Rayna and Deacon magic makes my heart do a little dance

Oh God, I might be the only one but I really, really want Adam and Kim (Chicago PD) to have a future. But not like this. I really don’t want him to just go back to her because Wendy left him. I want him to really want her. Rooting for them :)

Still swooning over Danny + Mindy (the fact that I have watched, re-watched and re-re-watched the episode aren’t helping me to move on)! The Penny + Leonard bit was also very cute – done in the perfect way for them. It’s not a show you cover, but Melissa + Joey (ABCF) also had an exciting engagement this week. The episode ended in a perfectly sweet scene with a (kind of) surprise engagement. Love is in the air for sure!!

I also love the sweet relationship that Sarah and her baby daddy have on Orphan Black. Would love to see her open up to him a bit more!

I’m so sad that Aiden has met his maker on Revenge. I really loved him, and he & Emily have been pretty adorbs together lately. I’m sure this interesting twist will fuel Emily’s fire, and perhaps even bring her and Jack closer together (fingers crossed).

Arrow and Felicity, they care and love each other in a very professional way. That could change, but I predict it doesn’t. Penny and Leonard, one of the sweetest engagements that I have seen on TV in a long time. Regina and Robin, oh boy, a definitely rocky road ahead and I am not sure if this is going to end well for Regina. I just hope her evil self doesn’t return but if I had to place a bet, I am afraid that it will. Hook and Emma, just absolutely sweet, especially outside the cafe. I am not sure if they will get a Fairytale Happy Ending?

Oliver and Felicity are amazing on Arrow. This last week’s scene was so surprising and intense and just really speaks to why I can’t help but root for them to get together. I love watching their relationship strengthen and sooner or later… you know it’ll turn into something more. I’m very excited about that.

I have to totally give the Arrow writers credit. I don’t know what changed in the last few episodes but Felicity seems to have this awesome new vibe to her. I mean, she was always awesome — funny, sassy, strong, etc — but in the last few eps they’ve had her getting back out into the field, coming up with a plan to blow up a building (then actually taking part in blowing it up), hitting Isabel with a van, saving Diggle, saving Oliver, being a fighter, interrogating that one guy… just being smarter, cleverer, a wee bit more “badass”… just really mature/adult heroine. I really like it. I think it’s added more layers to her and made her more interesting and complex. She feels like she’s coming into her own “thing.” I’m also really curious about the rest of her backstory and who the heck her parents are! I need to see that on the screen.

Sadly I’m not as excited about Joan Watson on Elementary though. After that awesome “Just no.” speech she gaves, she not only believes the guy’s story but falls into bed with him? I still expect to find out he’s lying. He’s a spy. They lie. Plus I’m not really digging the whole brothers thing. Ah well. I’m sure it’ll be short lived. But the Watson/Holmes relationship, and yes, I meant friends, not lovers, is absolutely one of my favorites on tv right now. I love how they unexpectedly relate to each other, understand each other, and really seem to love each other. It’s such a great dynamic.

the chemistry between these two actors, Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, is really impressive! is the magic of his characters, leaving us always waiting for something more! I love them :D Olicity fan

What?? First of all, not everyone who supports Oliver/Felicity are male. What do you think we should do with the women? Force them to do a hysterectomy? You, good sir, need to sort out your priorities.

The Oliver and Felicity scene in last week’s episode was beautifully brilliant. “You are not alone” and “I believe in you” are my new favorite Felicity to Oliver lines. Can’t wait to see what the finale has in store for them. I love these two together!!!

I just adore watching the relationship between Oliver and Felicity grow. From what was obviously a schoolgirl crush on Felicity’s side to start with, to what is now the most stable, mature relationship and partnership that Oliver Queen has ever had with a woman, it has been a joy to watch Stephen and Emily. They play off each other like they’ve been together for years, and everything they do is so exciting to watch. I really hope that relationship continues to blossom into something more, because they need each other.

let’s go ahead and call it “The Day After Tomorrow” because every natural disaster known to human-kind is about to rain down on Tyrion Lannister (and by extension, everyone, because this IS Game of Thrones) one way or another. =(

Having a general idea of what was coming because of the books, GoT succeeded in making me hate Shae MORE than before. I didn’t care for her in the books, and eventually hated her. In the show they made her much more likable, and then really twisted her even worse so I now hate her in the show even more than I did in the book! Nice work, show! Passionate hatred is a strong feeling, and strong feeling means you’re doing good work. :)

Oliver and Felicity are my OTP. Gosh, they have the chemistry other pairs don’t. And Emily is such an extraordinary actress. She can portray Felicity so we’ll that I do think Felicity and the Arriw exist. And I also love the relationship between these three characters, Oliver, Diggle and Felicity.

I loved the off-beat Penny/Leonard proposal. It was always obvious to me that they’d be together, and I’m pleased that the silly On Again/Off Again Dance has (hopefully) ended. To me, their meeting was the Big Bang, the event that changed all their lives.

We think that the real Snow Queen on Once Upon A Time should be Regina. We feel that her heart being broken will make her turn evil! What is the most disgusting couple on this list is Watson and Mycroft. Accroding to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Watson married Mary Morstan and Mycroft was overweight. That is really taking license away from the original stories. We think that Elementary should be cancelled.
